I just heard this on the Hymns and Favorites internet radio stream and tears just filled my eyes. I had forgotten about this hymn and I had forgotten how beautiful it is. such a comforting song!!
Psalm 124:7 We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped." Hosea 9:8b "snares await him on all his paths, and hostility in the house of his God." Proverbs 6:5 "Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler. Luke 9:60 "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
This is a really lovely hymn, and one I've never heard before. At 1:45 where the men sing in unison with the reverberation is sounds like a Gregorian chant. Thank you for posting this.
This song really reaches the depths of my heart.

the words here are from a modern hymn, however the tune is actually a chant, so it is no wonder it sounds like one

This song touches on the joy of what it will be like to be one with Him eternally. It's His love for us...not our goodness...but His.
